Questions and Answers

Aubrey and Jared first crossed paths in November of 2022 through their church&#8217;s college ministry. What started as simple conversation quickly grew into an easy, genuine friendship. They often found themselves drawn to each other during group events&#8212;sharing laughs, teasing banter, and lingering conversations long after everyone else had gone home. Some of their favorite memories were spent in Jared&#8217;s car in the church parking lot, sharing songs that became &#8220;theirs&#8221; and laughing as the bass shook the windows&#8212;proof that even the simplest moments together felt special.
 
Even before they realized it themselves, their friends and family could already see the spark between them, often teasing that the two would make a perfect match.
 
As the months passed, their connection only deepened. Nearly a year later, what had once been friendship began to feel like something more. In March of 2024, Jared finally worked up the courage to ask Aubrey out on their first official date. Just two weeks later, on April 1st, she said &#8220;yes&#8221; to being his girlfriend&#8212;marking the beginning of a love that felt both effortless and meant to be.
 
Since then, their story has been filled with laughter, shared dreams, and countless adventures&#8212;whether exploring new places, serving together in church, or simply enjoying quiet evenings side by side. Every season has brought them closer and confirmed what they already knew in their hearts: they had found the one they wanted to spend forever with.
 
On August 30, 2025, Jared planned a romantic picnic at the historic Oakland Mansion&#8212;a place filled with charm and quiet beauty. As the sun began to set, he surprised Aubrey with a heartfelt proposal, asking her to spend forever loving him as his wife. With tears in her eyes and joy in her heart, she said &#8220;yes.&#8221;
 
Just a few months later, on December 19th, 2025, they quietly and joyfully became husband and wife, beginning their marriage surrounded by love and faith.
 
Now, they can&#8217;t wait to celebrate their union with all of you&#8212;gathering their favorite people in one place to share their vows, dance the night away, and start this next chapter of life together.
